Reference excerpt

Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco (Jocotoco Conservation Foundation) is an Ecuadorian non-governmental environmental organization. It was established to purchase and protect land important to the conservation of endangered birds in Ecuador. Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco established its first reserve, the Tapichalaca Biological Reserve, in 1998 to protect the type locality and main range of the newly discovered Jocotoco antpitta (Grallaria ridgelyi). The reserve now protects more than 2870 hectares of forest and an associated 380+ species of birds and numerous range-restricted plants, amphibians, mammals, and invertebrates. Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco has established eleven reserves protecting 16,000 hectares (40,000 acres):

Ayampe, Dry forest near the Pacific Ocean. Esmeraldas woodstar, great green macaw. Buenaventura, wet upper foot hill forest on west slope of Andes. One of only a few localities for El Oro parakeet, and El Oro tapaculo. Also the Giant Caecilian has been found here. Chakana (formerly Antisanilla), highland paramo southeast of Quito. Andean condor and spectacled bear. Copalinga, wet foot hill forest on eastern slope of Andes, very close to Zamora and Podocarpus National Park. Jorupe, Tumbesian dry forest. Henna-hooded foliage-gleaner, rufous-necked foliage-gleaner, blackish-headed spinetail, gray-headed antbird. Narupa, wet foothill forest on the east slope of the Andes. Coppery-chested jacamar, Napo sabrewing, many other foothill species. Río Canandé, wet Chocó lowlands of the northwest. Scarlet-breasted dacnis, banded ground-cuckoo, great curassow, golden-chested tanager. Tapichalaca, wet lower subtropical forest up to páramo on east slope of Andes. Jocotoco antpitta, golden-plumed parakeet, white-necked parakeet, Peruvian antpitta, bicolored antvireo, masked saltator, greater scythebill. Utuana, temperate forest on slopes above inter-Andean valley. Piura hemispingus, rainbow starfrontlet, black-crested tit-tyrant. Yanacocha, upper temperate forest on Volcán Pichincha. Black-breasted puffleg (one of the few remaining world localities for this critically endangered species), imperial snipe, rainbow-bearded thornbill. Yunguilla, woodland south of Cuenca. Only known locality for the critically endangered pale-headed brush-finch. Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco supports an active research program at the reserves. Projects include:

Documenting reproductive biology and identifying critical breeding habitat of Esmeraldas woodstar in coastal Ecuador

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco

In research: Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Bird conservation organizations, Conservation and environmental foundations, Conservation and environmental foundations based in the United States, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
